we get ours at Welcome to Sign-Mart.com. Your Best Single Source for supplies, fabrication, services and advice.
not sure if other suppliers do the same or not..

It really helps to have the rite size for each job.. and that way your not wasting tape.. or having to over lap tape..

My local distributor will cut mine down to whatever size for free also anf for bubble popping I use a standard needle in a dowel rod. That's actually my weeding tool too.

ive tried the needles.. but the finger pokers are actually finer.. as in smaller.. than needes (believe it or not.) the needle in the dowel is a pretty good idea..
I have a poker thing that i use that is in a exacto knife type handle.
(needles scare me as i stepped on one once.. and mmmm did you know needles dont bend they break.. .. like right off in my foot.. it was not fun.

Weeds and flowers don't mix JB Besides them are already marketed, I got that off my local distributor's website. I buy them to use as bubble popper, weeder, finger nail cleaner. I give like a buck for them, now they have more alaberate ones, but that right there is all I need.

Now that I understand about what not to use. Can anyone offer any tips on types of application tapes that work best, along with suppliers for it?

That little pokie thing that diabetics use to prick their fingers is called a lancet.
